Dynamic Worship

What are we talking about, dynamic worship? We mean active, empowering worship, worship that centers on God, that gives to Him honor, adoration, and praise! We mean worship that draws upon His strength and power for our lives! While worship is primarily giving to God, it results in blessings of receiving.

Have you ever heard someone say, "I just don’t get much out of the worship service"? Such a statement could be a reflection upon the worshiper rather than the service. Study these suggestions that could help put quality into your worship.

1. Make Sunday worship a priority. It is the most important commitment of the week. It is nothing less than meeting with God.

2. Don’t bring God leftovers. God has always demanded
"first fruits." He cannot be satisfied with scraps. Get plenty of sleep on Saturday night, and come to worship with an alert and refreshed mind.

3. Prepare your mind. Discipline begins in the mind, and so does discipleship. Train your mind to concentrate on spiritual things.

4. Be on time. Rushing in late makes it difficult for you to settle into meditation, and it disturbs the worshipers.

5. Bring your Bible. Coming to worship without your Bible is like going out to drive your car without your keys.

6. Open your mouth and sing. Singing is not an option. It is a command. Those who violate this command are just as guilty as if they neglected the assembly in the first place.

7. Be friendly. Worship is enhanced when done as a family. Family members should know and love each other.

8. Listen carefully to the sermon. Taking notes will help. Follow along in your Bible. Take the message seriously; it will help you. It will encourage the speaker, and he will do a better job. It will show non-Christians that we are serious.

9. Make your worship God-centered. Worship is primarily a giving situation. It is in the giving of ourselves that we get. No giving, no getting. Think about it the next time you hear someone say, "I don’t get much out of worship service!"
